Xpress Tees is a Gold Coast hi-vis workwear printing company with two walk-in stores, in Ashmore and Surfers Paradise, and every order is decorated in house rather than sent out to a third party, so quality control and turnaround stay in our hands from first proof to finished garment. It’s the same in-house setup behind our custom t-shirt printing and screen printing work on the Gold Coast.
Custom hi-vis workwear covers safety vests, polos, long sleeve shirts and hoodies branded with your business logo, and we can decorate it with screen printing or embroidery depending on the garment and where the reflective tape sits. Embroidery tends to suit logos on polos and jackets best since it holds up well to repeated washing, while screen printing works well for larger prints or designs with more detail on vests and shirts.
It’s the option most trade and corporate customers reach for when they want a consistent, professional look across a whole team, whether that’s a handful of hi-vis polos for a small crew or a full site fit-out of safety gear. We can talk you through which decoration method suits your logo and budget, and most jobs are ready within our standard 7 to 10 day turnaround.
We print and embroider hi-vis workwear for businesses right across the Gold Coast, from Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach down to Burleigh Heads and Coolangatta, and out to Nerang, Coomera, Helensvale, Pacific Pines and Pimpama, whether you can get into one of our stores or you would rather order online. See our full list of areas we serve for the suburb closest to you. Send us your logo and we will get it set up ready to print or embroider.

What We Print On Hi-Vis & Safety Wear
Embroidered Hi-Vis Polos & Jackets
Embroidery is usually our recommendation for polos, jackets and anything worn week after week, because a stitched logo holds up to repeated washing far better than a printed one and keeps its shape and colour over time. It gives a raised, premium finish that reads as more corporate, which is why it is the most common choice for staff uniforms and client-facing teams.
We digitise your logo into an embroidery file first so stitch quality is checked before anything is sewn, and that file is kept on hand so reordering later for new staff matches exactly.
Screen Printed Hi-Vis Vests & Safety Shirts
Screen printing gets noticeably cheaper per shirt the bigger the run, which makes it the better fit for large team orders, event shirts and uniforms where you need the same design across a lot of garments at once.
Send through your logo or design and the quantity you need and we will put together a quote. If you need a mix of screen printing on shirts and embroidery on polos or jackets for the same team, we can quote both together.
Embroidery vs Screen Printing: Which Should You Choose?
Embroidery and screen printing both end up as a logo on your hi-vis workwear, but they suit different jobs. Embroidery stitches your logo directly into the fabric, so it holds up to years of washing and looks more premium, which is why it is usually our recommendation for polos, jackets and uniforms worn long term. It works best for simple logos and text rather than highly detailed, full colour artwork.
Screen printing pushes ink through a mesh screen instead, which gets cheaper per shirt the bigger the run, making it the better fit for large team orders and shirts that do not need the raised, stitched finish. If your design has gradients, photos or a lot of colour detail, our DTF printing service is usually the better fit instead. You can read more about our embroidery and screen printing services for more detail on each method.
If you are not sure which one your job needs, send it through and we will tell you honestly which method will look better and cost less for what you are after, rather than defaulting to whichever is easier for us.

Common Questions
How much does hi-vis workwear printing cost on the Gold Coast?
Pricing depends on the garment, the decoration method and how many you need, so there is no flat rate. Embroidered polos and jackets are usually priced per garment plus a one-off digitising fee for your logo, while screen printed vests and shirts get cheaper per unit the bigger the run. Send us your logo, the garment style and the quantity and we will get you a free, no-obligation quote.
Is there a minimum order for hi-vis printing?
We do not set a strict minimum, so a handful of vests for a small crew or a few hundred shirts for a whole site is fine. Smaller embroidery orders will include a one-off digitising fee to convert your logo into a stitch file, but that file is kept on hand so reordering for new starters later is quick and consistent.
How long does hi-vis workwear printing take?
Most orders are ready within our standard 7 to 10 day turnaround from approved artwork. If you have a project start date or a new crew induction to meet, let us know when you enquire and we will do what we can to work around it.
Should I choose embroidery or screen printing for hi-vis gear?
It depends on the garment and how the logo needs to sit around any reflective tape. Embroidery holds up best on polos and jackets and gives a raised, premium finish, while screen printing suits larger logos or designs with more detail on vests and shirts. See our full embroidery vs screen printing comparison above, or ask us and we will recommend what suits your logo and budget.
Can I mix decoration methods across my order?
Yes, plenty of businesses embroider polos and jackets for a premium look while screen printing higher-vis vests and bulk shirts to keep costs down on larger runs. Send through your full garment list and we will quote each item with the method that suits it best.
